Gorgeous!! It’s so nice to have fall in the air

Hi it a high of 66 very briefly here, but mainly 64 or lower the entire day. It was beyond nice out for my 4+ mile walk earlier. A perfect mid-fall type day. Currently 64/43

The look one Liam Cohen’s face when he ran that in was hilarious. Reminded me of Steve Kerr’s face everytime Steph Curry throws up a ridiculous shot and it goes in.

Southeast LA over into the Panhandle got 6-12" of snow last year. A new state record was set near Pensacola for 24hr snowfall. It was a freak event back in January

And you're a Bengals fan. How in the hell are you not an alcoholic?

From your lips to hopefully God's ears @George BM

Today was an incredible day for any outdoor activities. I was out and about pretty much the entire day, including a nice 5.5 mile walk. Love these earlier fall days. Now we get closer to the perfect season

Welcome to the sub fellow Met! Great position you have and a really important one at that. I was the Upper-Air focal at NWS Midland for 3 years before I moved back east to work at WPC. I loved the UA program considering its importance, and how often can you say you launched/worked with weather balloons as part of your job characteristics? This will be a great experience! As for the area, there’s so much to do around here, it’s hard to fit into one post. We are one of the best regions (VA/MD) for maintaining natural beauty with several counties enacting laws that dictate percentages of trees and greenery that need to be in place to maintain its image. We have several smaller parks, state parks, wildlife preserves, and Shenandoah National, plus Luray Caverns to partake for hiking/walking/biking pleasures. This area is also home to one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the world, so we have lots of great shops and festivals that celebrate it all throughout the year. And with ethnic diversity comes some insanely good food from everywhere. Seriously, whatever you are in the mood to try, I guarentee we have it. The local fare is fantastic and revolves around seafood, mainly crab forward dishes that will blow your mind how good they are. We could have a thread just dedicated to food in this place (paging @stormtracker ) How many areas do you know where you can visit the beach, a Bay, rivers, major cities, vibrant suburban life, pristine rural beauty, and multiple sets of mountains, and see it all in one weekend? It’s actually possible here. We are home to several major attractions through both states steeped in history. If you want to try different activities, there’s clubs galore and people of similar interests in whatever you could imagine. I could go on and on. If you ever have questions on specifics, I’m sure we can provide locations and ideas to basically anything. Welcome to the Mid Atlantic! PS: Sorry in advance for the traffic

Full event total of 0.91" for my area in Londontowne/Edgewater. I'll take it since we needed any rain. Things were already greening back up I noticed as I went out this evening. Congrats to those who cashed with that rain today. I love seeing areas that need rain get smacked

0.79" today at the house. Little more expected overnight. I'll take it

It's crazy how often this happens.....We won by a large margin, but I wasn't thrilled with that first half execution. We can't do that kind of stuff vs. better competition. I know it sounds like complaining, but this is the same song and dance for years and we have nothing to show for it. Got to play better up front to have a chance at anything more than a one and done.

Simply sublime. Wife and I went for a hike/walk around Beverly-Triton State Park and it was absolutely immaculate out. Temps in the mid-70s with a breeze off the Bay. Honestly couldn't ask for much better.

@North Balti Zen Glad I could help! Lots of choices out there, but that Ambient is best bang for what it delivers and the accuracy component of it all. I know you want as close to perfect as possible, so that is a solid choice! I think you'll love it!

Finally getting around to some final tallies for my location over the course of Meteorological Summer. Total Rainfall (JJA): 13.18" Average High (JJA): 84.2F Average Low (JJA): 68.5F Average Temp (JJA): 75.0F Most Rain Daily: 7/9 - 1.80" Average temp of 75F puts this right near seasonal average, but a touch lower than normal (75.4-76F)

Hey NBZ! Davis Vantage Vue is a great choice, but there's also the Ambient Weather WS-2000 that is a very good alternative. If you go with the Advanced Console, that thing has everything you could ever want to know, including sunrise and sunset information, HI/WC information calculations, and more. I say go with the Ambient just for the beauty and really solid data accuracy. That would be an incredible gift! Davis is what I would want if I was a Coop, but I think your gf would absolutely love the Ambient. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GRBY9NP?tag=brg_ana_amp-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAJO7E5OLQ67NVPFZA&ascsubtag=1757093361701-606-home-weather-stations-with-rain-gauge_1757093361

56F for the low at mi casa this morning. Glorious start to the days, but I am actually looking forward to hopefully any rain this week. Been pretty dry and some of the brown starting to creep into the neighborhood after being lush green for almost two months.

Unbelievable for late August. I’m glad you got a chance to enjoy an amazing weekend of weather out there in the mountains. Gorgeous mornings and fantastic afternoons to be outside.

If this works…..

This weather is truly a treat. 10/10 in every way possible. I think this is the best Labor Day Weekend weather wise in over 30 years.

Looking back at temperatures this month, I think this might be the best August this area has seen in terms of thwarting hot/humid conditions since the summer of 2014. Lows in the area will remain near to below normal for the next 10-14 days leading to some spectacular starts to the days ahead. Will gladly accept after what was a MISERABLE late-June and July.

I can't believe they are allowing me to view this porn at work....

I think @WxUSAF hit the nail on the head. These bigger storms need general phasing pieces to really allow for a significant mid-latitude cyclone and we haven't seen too many due to the fast flow from the N/S and more chaotic nature of faster low amplitude waves. By the time they rendezvous, it's usually too far north in latitude to matter for these parts. We value blocking as that slows down the wave train and allows for greater amplitude in trough patterns as they migrate east of the Rockies. We've been on the outside looking in for years now, but hopefully some signs of the AMO shifting could bring back more periods of blocking across the North Atlantic. Until then, it's going to be tough to generate significant east coast storms at a higher frequency. Those that can develop could still be very strong, however so something to keep in mind when we do have signals for a major mid-latitude cyclone.

The Orioles went an impressive 0/14 with RISP tonight. I am genuinely impressed with that kind of futility. In other news, Ravens looked pretty good with the back ups tonight. Ran 79 plays to Dallas 49. Pretty much dominated for 98% of that contest. Come on September!

Been a minute since I posted, but had an incredible 2+ week vacation across multiple states. I spent probably 50% of the time outside and near/in some body of water or pool. It was probably one of the best vacations I've ever had in my 35 years. It's time to finish the warm season grind and get into the cool season. My body is ready.....seriously, it's very ready. I am sick of the heat and humidity. Bring on cool crisp nights, bonfires, football, and dead mosquitos.

Really sad to hear about the passing of your dad, John. JBurns was a name I can remember seeing plenty of in my time on the forum. He was very well spoken and a knowledgeable read. He had a profound impact on many in here through his time as a moderator and dear friend. His legacy will live on forever. My condolences to you and your family. He will be missed dearly
